Bisphenol A is OK, says FDA

According to Food Chemical News, the FDA has just released a report exonerating bisphenol A from causing harm from the small amount that leaches from plastic bottles into what you and babies are drinking.

And here is the actual FDA report, so you can decide for yourself.

This will send a clear message to manufacturers and their retail distributors.
